Tools

To get things done you need tools. The tools you pick will impact the work you do and how you do it. If you use right tools, tools that fit your style of work, appeal to you then the work you produce will be of a higher quality. You also will be able to do more as you will enjoy using your tools. Finding the right tools and building a toolkit takes time and trial and error. Below you will find a list of tools which let me get things done.

First of all I use PC, you may find that most of the apps I use have Mac equivalent. For those were there isn’t don’t worry there are other tools available to you which make many windows user jealous.

Desktop and webapps

Google – I rely on Google services because they are fast, integrate lot of features and always available. I use their email, calendar, reader and since I got the android phone I’m even more happy as everything that I need is at my finger tips.

Remember the Milk – task management and basic project management. I’ve tried number of different tools but decided this is most convenient and feature rich for my needs. Although RTM is not perfect and I would like to see couple additional features it suits me very well.

Evernote – support material and reference. as well as ubiquitous capture of ideas.

ResphNotes – if you prefer plain text to store you note this is excellent solution letting you create, search, edit individual files.

Dropbox – file sync and backup solution. This is where majority of my current project and writing live until they are finished and archived.
